Healing and Transformation

Current policies, systems and environments can produce pain and trauma for many marginalized groups on campus and across our  broader communities. Confronting these systems of oppression requires us to hold spaces for healing. The process of healing allows us to acknowledge and grapple with present inequities and work towards collective transformational change.
